Maybe I am the only one that likes Mesquite? It reminds me of Texas.

I love Mesquite ,its the strongest flavor pack wood there is . But sometime you want a bit more subtle

Or just a variety

You can't do Texas BBQ without it ;)

That 20 gallon pot is a stainless washtub out of an antique Speed Queen wringer washer.....
I TIG welded a stainless steel patch on the agitator hole in the bottom, and VOILLA....instant firepit kettle!
The tripod frame is made from rigid galvanized tubing and the top piece (where the chain trammel hangs from) is made out of scrap trampoline frame parts!! Gotta love that redneck ingenuity!!

I originally built that kettle to make maple syrup in the early springtime, but have since built an huge evaporator for doing the syrup. So the kettle is used for cooking goodies on the firepit. I have cooked 15 dozen ears of corn at one time in that kettle.....that thing is awesome!

This fall, at the local fall festival, we're going to do a big kettle of ham, green beans and tater soup. Another group does a kettle of ham and bean. We'll do something a little different....
